The revision is not part of PV. And it's easily split off, since the |
| 8 |
string "-r<digits>" cannot occur elsewhere in the package version. |

To come back to my example: |

AFAICS, there _is_ an ambiguity. You can have the following two |
| 23 |
ebuilds in the tree, simultaneously: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
${PORTDIR}/app-misc/foo/foo-1a-scm.ebuild |
| 26 |
${PORTDIR}/app-misc/foo-1a/foo-1a-scm.ebuild |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Which package will be pulled in by the following dependency? |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
RDEPEND="=app-misc/foo-1a-scm" |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The conclusion is that GLEP 54 in its current form is not implementable. |
| 33 |
(But maybe it would be possible to use a period instead of the hyphen? |
| 34 |
That is, ".live" instead of "-scm"?) |
